FANTASY BASEBALL

{"playerId":2820,"percentChange":0,"averageDraftPosition":260,"percentOwned":2.7,"playerRaterSEASON":0.1,"fullName":"Mike Moustakas","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"The past season was filled with ups and downs for Moustakas, who bottomed out with a demotion to Triple-A Omaha in May but peaked during the Royals' run to the World Series, which included his swatting five home runs in the playoffs. Considering that he slugged .350 after the All-Star break and just .296 in September, there was nothing in his regular-season finish that foreshadowed his October heroics. The postseason performance secured his place as the team's starting third baseman to begin 2015 -- perhaps against better judgment, as his slash line dipped across the board for the second straight season. Moustakas has averaged 15.7 home runs per season since 2012, and his excellent defense at third base should carry him to another 500 plate appearances on the larger side of a platoon. At age 26, with nearly 2,000 career plate appearances under his belt, Moustakas is a lifetime .236 hitter, and the lack of progress in his pull-heavy approach offers little reason to believe he will ever fully tap into the potential that made him the No. 2 overall pick of the 2007 draft.","seasonId":2015,"date":"Tue Feb 10"},"positionRank":31}
